Debut director Srinivasan must be excited and thrilled at this moment, as his first film, Annadurai, starring Vijay Antony, is all set to hit the screens tomorrow (November 30).
Even before the film could release, the director has signed his next. Our reliable sources tell us that Srinivasan's second film would be funded by Madras Enterprises, S. Nandagopal, who has produced films like Veera Sivaji, Kaththi Sandai, Romeo Juliet and more. The source also adds that the film will start rolling from January next year, and would be dealing with a very topical social theme, that the audience could relate with.
A big star is said to be in talks and an official announcement regarding the same, is awaited from the team.
Vijay Antony, after tasting success with Pichaikkaaran and Saithan, is ready with his next film, Annadurai, which is all set to hit the screens on November 30.
Talking about the film, director Srinivasan says, "I am excited as well as nervous. This feel of mixed emotions is what I had waited for so many years. I have not left any stone unturned in my tenure of learning the art of filmmaking.
I am proud to do this script as my first movie. I had worked with different directors to learn this art. I learned ‘class’ from Vasantha Balan sir, ‘Impactful commercialism’ from Suseendran sir, ‘Humour’ from Boopathy Pandian sir and ‘How to deliver the product in time’ from Ezhil sir. I am thankful to each and every director.
For ‘Annadurai’s script I could not think of anyone else than Vijay Antony sir. His way of being subtle yet powerful is a characteristic feature that not many actors possess. His dedication and involvement for ‘Annadurai’ was simply outstanding. Not just as a lead actor and music director, even as an editor he has done a fabulous job.
The support cast and the whole technical team have given their absolute best and the results are very exciting. ‘Annadurai’ is a clean family entertainer which will be as powerful as the title. I am excited about our release on November 30th, the day I have been waiting for all my life."
